Landschap met houten brug en herder met vee 1665 - 1704

"Landschap met houten brug en herder met vee" (Landscape with a Wooden Bridge and a Shepherd with Cattle) is an etching by Dutch artist Adriaen van Diest, dating from between 1665 and 1704. The artwork depicts a bucolic scene of a shepherd guiding his herd across a wooden bridge, set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a distant town. The use of line and detail in the etching is reminiscent of the 17th century Dutch Golden Age, with its focus on realism and precision. Van Diest's work is known for its depiction of natural landscapes, particularly in the Netherlands. This print is a fine example of his talent for capturing the serene beauty of the countryside.
